Our tiger's mouths are embellished with red enamel, and their eyes are set with the tiniest ruby cabochons. These cufflinks are a rare find and they are in outstanding condition. We love them for their smaller scale, for the shimmering quality of their subtly-iridescent enamel, and for the tigers' fierce, beautiful faces!
